So it came 10 pass that the ladies
worked. They made forty-seven FROST
cd cakes, three thousand cookies, nine
ty-one plain cakes, twelve freezersful
of ice cream, bought six quarts Of
strawberries, persuaded all the papers
to give them long free notices, paid for
the job printing with a twenty five
cent ticket sat up nights and labored
with fancy work and ruined their
chances of salvation by putting prices
on it; and likewise among miscellane.
GUS things pounded ice, and walked
around on trot, and waited on tho
table, and washed dishes and got
confused making change, and forgot
TO give the newspapers compliments
ries, and spoiled their best dresses,
and carried chairs and tables, and
tired themselves out, and finally made
themselves sick, all of which, without
any exception or omission, they did in
holding a church fair and festival in
aid Of foreign missions; and the next
day when the reporter asked them how
much they made out of the operation
they toldihi cheerfully that by close
figuring they found that they had only
lost about $7S8, but that they were
going to hold another week after next
and hoped to do little better. And
then the wicked paper came out and
said that "the ladies who had charge
of the recent church festival report
that they cleared handsome sum.
and are so gratified with the result
that they will give another shortly. -

As briefly announced last week,
Ex-Gov. Luke p. Blackburn died in
Frankfort on the 18th inst. He had
been in failing health for some time.
Gov. Blackburn was born in Wood
ford county June l6, 1916. lie was
elected Governor in 1879 and served
four years. He was kind-hearted
sympathetic man and allowed his
feelings to get the better of his judg-
ment and cause him TO abuse the
pardoning power to such an extent
that his administration became very
unpopular towards its close. Acting
Governor Bryan issued a proclama-
tion closing the departments OF the
State Government on the day of his
funeral, the 10th inst. His remains
were buried at Frankfort upon a spot
selected by himself. Gov. Blackburn
was converted under the preaching
of Rev. Geo. y. Barnes while lie wa
Governor.

friend OF mine who lived In Sierra
Madre mountains had collie that was
an inveterate tree-climber, and woe to the
squirrel that climbed up a trunk that
Jack could scale! OF course, straight
trees were out OF the question: but one
that grew at an angle of forty-fiye degrees
and had a rough bark WAS quickly
mounted by the collie.
This curious habit was the result OF
his passi, II for squirrel hunting, and the
moment one OF those little animals would
dart up a favorable tree, Jack was after
it. strambling up so high that he was
often found by his master thirty or forty
feet from the ground. barking tiercely at
the squirrel, which had sought refuge on
q limb beyond the reach OF the dog.
In returning, Jack would settle close
to the tree trunk. and back down, inch
by inch, exercising great precantion. we'll
knowing that with his short CLAWS he
was at disadvantage. When with.n q
few feet OF the bottom he would sitca
